Lower Saucon lifts water advisory

Customers of the Steel City water system are able to use their water now without boiling it first.

Because of an unplanned loss of pressure in the water distribution system around 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday, the Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County, had to tell customers to boil their water or use bottled water to drink until further notice.

The system was flushed Tuesday night to clear air and discolored water.
